Hi

I'm looking into acquiring a set of the newer 4th gen seats to install in a 2013 P85. I couldn't imagine why these wouldn't work.... they have the same connectors as the Gen3 "Next Gen" seats. Already contacted Tesla and they have the jumper cables for the new seat wiring retrofit waiting for me to pick up. (Convert Gen1 to Next Gen connectors/ gen4)

I started a thread about the retrofit early but the seat I acquired was gen4 but a single white connector instead of the black and gray connectors found on the next gens. They apparently made two different models of the 4th gen seats and the one I bought cannot be converted... but the other should be fine.

I'll let you all know how I make out soon. It should just be a simple new part firmware deployment to read the new modules and then software will be reassessed and downloaded for what the vehicle needs.

Hi, you don't have a part number for the jumper cables that convert Gen1 to Next Gen connectors/ gen4 - by any chance do you?
I have bought next gen seats for my 2014 car, and the plugs are different. Presumably, these jumper cables convert the new seats to the old connectors? Any help would be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Peter

I have Gen 1 seats in a Aug 2013 build.

Can I swap out just the bottom cushion, to Gen 2 to 4?

I want the side bolsters that these seats have.

I may even get the existing one reupholstered.

Also, from what I know,
These are the 1st gen seats. Had them as a loaner and found them to be more comfortable, but definitely not as supportive as my seats.

These are the next gen seats which I have in my MS. I do not find them very comfortable and at the time that I bought them the 3rd gen (latest model, whatever you want to call them) were only available on the performance models.

Then there are the 3rd gen seats. Originally they had perforated seats, but now that is only available on the P100D. I sat in a Model X with these seats and found them to be so much more comfortable than most seats I have ever sat in. I also find perforated seats to feel softer and more comfortable, even though there is a lot of controversy towards them.

How did you Install it? Is everything works fine?

I have installed 2018 gen4 seats in my 2014 Model S. Everything works, including heating and movable headrests.
There's good info here

P85 Premium Seat Retrofit

Tesla might have to reset it or reprogram the module. yeah ive considered that. but if you fully swap before turning on car, you should not cause light to come on. Did you have some time without a seat airbag? I ran a few weeks without waiting for connector.
